The NFL is facing fire from conservatives yet again after once again choosing to turn football into a far-left political activity. This time, the organization infuriated normal Americans by announcing that the performer who has been chosen to headline this year’s Super Bowl halftime show will be a cross-dressing, Trump-hating, pro-illegal immigration, anti-ICE Puerto Rican singer who goes by the name “Bad Bunny.”
As background, the NFL was already facing fire from what few conservatives still watch it at the start of this season, as it announced that it would be retaining the infamous social justice-related endzone slogans. It then made that yet worse when it kicked off the first game of the season with a performance of the so-called “Black national anthem,” a very incendiary move.
The NFL then piled yet more fury on top of itself by announcing the extremely polarizing and infuriating news that “Bad Bunny” will be the performer, as he is known for his hateful comments directed against the Trump Administration and against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
So, former fans have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to bombard the platform and the league with calls for it to be boycotted. One account, for example, said, “I think it’s time people boycott the @NFL. I know we love our football. But sometimes we have to take a stand. First the kneeling. Then the “trans” and male cheerleaders. And now Bad Bunny, a demonic drag show for the halftime entertainment. BOYCOTT THE NFL.”
That same account, in another post, called out all of the NFL’s advertisers and wrote, “BOYCOTT THE @NFL Promoting this man’s mental illness/deviancy is not appropriate for family entertainment. He is also anti-ICE and anti-American. Let these advertisers know YOU WILL NOT BE WATCHING THE SUPER BOWL !!!”
Similarly, another noted, “So…..boycott NFL. Are you convinced now? Just one season of no subscriptions. No season tickets. No ratings. No merchandise. No fantasy leagues. Just one season of total loss and they may reconsider their platform. And if they don’t, maybe this sport really isn’t worth keeping around. Meet Badbunny. Anti-American Anti-Christian Anti-Trump 2026 Super Bowl Halftime show. Essentially. Boycott or this is what you support.”
Still another poster said, on much the same point about not being able or willing to tolerate this level of absolute nonsense, “NFL halftime??? Not even going to watch the game due to this complete out of touch stupidity!! America stand up and boycott, this is part of the halftime show…👇🏻🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮”

Another, referencing a post about why the NFL should have AC/DC do this season’s Super Bowl halftime performance instead, said, “Let’s make this happen!!! Cancel/boycott the NFL AND Bad Bunny until they remove him as their halftime show! THIS is the halftime show we all need!!!!!!”
Other posters chimed in to note that they have been boycotting the NFL for awhile already. One such poster said that he has been boycotting the league since the 2020 craziness, saying, “I plan to continue to #BoycottNFL Haven’t watched a game or spent a dime since they condoned kneeling and disrespect of the flag. BudLight their ass”
